You might not be as optimistic as you prefer today, but you still have a strong inner resolve that can pull you through -- no matter what's happening in your life. Things are changing now for reasons that you might not yet comprehend. Consciously let go of whatever is slipping away. Don't fight the process; space is being made for new opportunities that will soon enter your life.
